The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

This means that the server you are on has been setup for extra security to not allow parent paths eg ../  This is standard on Win2003

To pstop this error the upload path you setup in the admin area for uploading files/images/avatars, etc. can not contain parent paths (no ../)

Your only solution is to have the upload folder below the level of the forum folder so that no parent paths are used when uploading your avatars.
